Senior Minister Rev. Paul Whitlock writes:

It felt like Palm Sunday, Easter, and Pentecost all rolled into one! It felt like worship—because it was! Anytime we celebrate the love which God has given, anytime we gather (even in our cars), anytime we truly celebrate diversity within humanity, it is worship. Plus, it was one of the best parades in which I have participated—I’m talking about our ONA Anniversary Gay Pride Parking Lot Parade!

With the COVID-19 emerging this spring, Rincon UCC’s Creation Care team had to put their re-wilding project on hold. Their plan is to reclaim significant portions of their campus as native habitat.

The project is still growing, though!

“While most of our 600-plus residents at Beatitudes Campus are in independent living and while it is an adjustment for all of us to follow the protocols of staying in, it is particularly challenging for folks in healthcare centers or in hospitals who cannot see their families.  I found what follows so creative, so caring, so inspiring---so indicative of the spirit of community at our Beatitudes Campus—a true day brightener that I wanted to share.”

To express their gratitude and to honor Michael-Ann and her family before they depart, it is the hope of Desert Palm UCC to gather after worship on June 7th or, if that isn’t possible, to shower her with virtual love.

Marc Gaston is creating a video montage of the Desert Palm family thanking Michael-Ann and her family and wishing them the best on their new adventure. For this compilation, create a 10-15 second video on your phone and email it to him at mgaston57@gmail.com. This will be a wonderful gift that Michael-Ann and her family can watch and remember our love for them.
